I think the East is going to be :flabbynsick: again. YOU KNOW I HOPE THE GC win it, but if I had to make a pick not as a fan I would pick Tennessee, they have a lot of returning starts and none starters that played last season. I don't think Kirby Smart is going to jump out the gate winning at Georgia, I really don't like the offensive staff he put together and he hasn't impressed when when play against spread offenses. If UK and Stoops are going to win it this is the year they have the chance. Gamecocks still got plenty of question marks on offense(If Orth is the QB I'm taking a year off to be a Wofford fan) although I believe that Muschamp and T-Rob will have our defense on point, we had the talent last year but the coaching was pure shyt.

The other day I looked at how they recruit and saw like 85-90% of their recruits are from Ohio. The only Kentucky players they go after are the highly recruited ones like Matt Elam. Who's 2nd highest in the pecking order in Ohio in terms of recruiting?
After Ohio St? I think Michigan

Tennessee- Better
Penn State- Better
Arkansas- Better
Notre Dame- Better
Virginia Tech- Better
Arizona-Better

:gladbron:


Call me a fool but I might have to peg Arkansas as a moneymaker for me in 2016. Can't wait to see the O/U totals that home schedule look tasty.

Alabama
LSU
Florida
Ole Piss

I think they finally beat A&M after 3 years of heartbreak I think Arky can beat Piss St and Mizzou Arky got a nice little setup. That game at TCU gonna be a contrast in styles but I think Arkansas can make some moves not sure why but I feel it.

Arkansas loss their QB, leading receiver, and top 2 running backs. Beliema is a good coach I'm sure he'll coach them up to be competitive but I think there will be some growing pains this season.

that front 7 can be very good, talent is there depth and experience. the secondary is the question mark on defense, particularly at safety. gotta stay healthy at corner and hope they can work miracles at safety. there is some talent to work with there (elder, smith), but they've looked so clueless out there the past 2 years im just praying for some mediocrity. jasper sasser listed 1st at one of the safety spots going into the spring is a guy who i think will emerge.

our offense wasnt all that awful last year, statistically it was mediocre. our problem was on both sides of the ball we couldnt finish. couldnt get that one stop or we'd get within one score and the offense would stall in the 4th but thats also a problem we had in 2014. thats what worries me about orth like you said. he'd look great one minute and develop a rhythm just like thompson, but you'd get the feeling he'd screw up a close game just like dylan. what gives me hope on that side of the ball is better interior line play (it cant be worse), and a direction on offense. gotta find some playmakers though.

I think they're moving Diggs to safety. I'm expecting Toure Boyd to have a good spring and compete with Smith for the other starting spot. Just saw where Moody is back. We should be okay at CB with Lammons, King, McWilliams, and Fenton.

Offense, we're going to have a lot of young guys playing WR this year. I been hearing good things about Byran Edwards so far. I'm just worried about the QB situation with Nunez going down I don't know what to think now.
